Butterfly Timing
Swimming / Popular
Coordinate the dolphin kick with the arm pull and breath.
What coaches agree on
- Butterfly uses two kicks per arm cycle — one kick times with the arms exiting the water to start the recovery, and the other times with the hands entering the water to start the pull.
- Press your chest down the instant your arms enter the water (or as you finish a breath) — this creates the wave that pikes your hips up and carries you into the next stroke.

Common mistakes
- Lifting the head late or too high during the breath drags the hips down and stalls the arms on their way back over the water.
